Do You Use Pre-Made Rooms? (poll)

When I'm lazy and have no internet (so no gallery), but I want to make a venue

Never ever, but I use premade outfits.

I can see that. Keep in mind anything saved in your 'library' can still be accessed when in offline mode. ;)

Sometimes when I’m stuck for which style I want a house. Often I see a colour and go with that as the main inspiration.

Not that often, but its a feature I use and a feature I really appreciate about Sims 4 that I wish Sim 3 had. There's a couple of template rooms, like a bathroom and kitchen I put in a lot of builds and then modify. I very rarely download rooms from the Gallery, but then I rarely download builds from the Gallery.

For me, there is more work involved in using the premade rooms.

I'm in the Rarely camp. I don't use them that often but I am glad they are there. I have used a lot of pre-built whole lots though such as community spaces and houses like Duplantier Dwelling. Sometimes I just want to make my sims and move them right in without a lot of redecoration.

When I use the pre-built rooms, it is usually while building. I'll build most things on my own but I might add specific pre-built rooms that fit with my overall style. Kitchens and bathrooms are more frequent because they're pretty similar. I don't feel like my ultimate creative sense of expression is in designing every single bathroom, hehe. I've added a few other rooms with other themes such as a ready-to-go playroom. Sometimes I want to add everything myself and sometimes I just want to check off a box for a specific room. In the second case, I'll look at and sometimes use the pre-built rooms.

I appreciate having the feature. As mentioned, a lot of my community spaces are from Maxis community lots that were added like Hogan's Burger Bar, Club Slate and a couple of spas. I've also downloaded from the community and built my own. I like that everything from Maxis is playtested.

Only when I'm exploring a pack for the first time. I like to see how the new items work with each other (and the base game) :smile:

When I’m testing out a new pack or improving a room for a sim I don’t care a lot about sometimes the only way to find something is to find it in a premade room

Once, when I needed to figure out a way to put an idea together, I grabbed two of the premade rooms and threw them into a build, then modified around it until the idea I had worked itself out.
